A Novel Morning at the Sweet Beans Cafe

Looking for a quiet, cozy spot to sip coffee and read my book this morning, I popped over to the {Sweet Beans Cafe}. This really is an adorable sim, so be sure you take a peek. I love these chairs stuffed with books – a readers delight!

Kunglers recently sent out this sexy, mesh mini-dress to VIP group members – you can still find it in the notices. The Kunglers group is 50L to join, but that’s a small price to pay for the great gifts you’ll receive. My cute Novel-ty Purse is by [POSH] and available for free on the Marketplace. There are several others available for 10L each, one of which Love showed you here.

My opal jewelry is the Color Explosion Hunt gift from Always Eclectic. There is also a gift for the fellas in the box. All items in this hunt are free, and you have until the end of this month to scoop them up. Gavin, Caresia, and Love have already shown a few items from this fabulous hunt.

Ok, bring on the caffeine!

It Starts With a Smile… and a Dress From Kunglers

Kunglers sent this pretty, mesh dress out to group members (50L to join) a couple of weeks ago. When I first tried it on, I wasn’t quite sure how to style it. I was probably too tired to think about it then, because when I tried it on again last night, “the look” all came together. The dress is no longer available in group notices, but you can still pick it up in the store. My jewelry is Chop Zuey’s Kharma Earth Silver set. The necklace and set of 3 bracelets are free for group members (350L to join), and the earrings, which of course are buried in my hair, are free for everyone – no group join needed.

My skin is Harlow Pale, the latest group gift from Izzie’s (250L to join), which I’ve worn before. When I checked this afternoon, the skin was still available, but it’s been out for a while so don’t dawdle if you want it. This time, I’m wearing the red brows version, which comes with a bright, red lipstick. I decided that didn’t work so well with this dress, so I added Izzie’s Ginevra Glossy Apricot Lipstick, which is a free gift for members of the Truth District Group (free to join) only at Izzie’s Truth District store. You also get a pink gloss, and both glosses are available for 6 different skin tones. My eyes are the current group gift from IKON (free to join) which Love showed you yesterday. Be sure you pick up a pair before March 7th. My pose is from a set of 3 Dreamer Poses recently sent out to Demise of Flight subscribers. The poses are still available in the subscribo; touch the subscribo > History > #1.

I’m standing on the lovely sim, “It all starts with a smile,” designed especially for Second Life® photogs by Kaelyn Alecto. If you’re looking for a tranquil place to explore or take pictures, be sure to check this one out. And give Amy the cat a cuddle while you’re there.

Spring Flowers And Winter Berries

One of the wonderful things about Second Life is that when you tire of winter snow, there’s sure to be a warm-weather sim just a click away. I did a search for “garden” and wound up in this lovely, peaceful meadow – I feel like I’m in a Van Gogh painting. Look, I caught a butterfly!

This gorgeous floral gown was recently sent to Kungler’s group members (check your group notices or head over to the store to pick one up). I love the way it hugs my curves in old Hollywood glam-style. The Kungler’s group is 50L to join, but every month group members receive something unique and beautiful – you won’t be disappointed!

My jewelry, called Winter Berries, are advent gifts from Chop Zuey Couture. These gifts are free to everyone, and are all still available, so pop over and pick yours up. My hair and skin are not free, but are both amazing deals from “”D!va”" and Glam Affair at Collabor88. The luscious lips of the skin and the wispy strands of hair… I couldn’t resist!

I think I’ll just stand here and drink in the beauty of nature for a while. It’s a long time until spring comes… in real life, that is.

Pimp My HUIT

Kunglers has a really nice mesh dress that will be great for any occasion.  The dress is available free for Kunglers VIP group members.  There is a L$50 fee to join the Kunglers group.  I paired the dress with free black enamel Ribbon high heels from +9.  I was absolutely ecstatic about the beautiful skin.  I’ve been keeping an eye on HUIT since I first fell in love with the skins at the Skin Showcase this summer.  This skin is a gift from HUIT for the Pimp My Hunters hunt.  The Neyti hair is a gift from MINA Hair for My Second Box.  The hair includes a fatpack of colors that will match any style.  My Second Box has a L$300 enrollment fee every month.  Each month five amazing gifts are sent for My Second Box group members only.

Rigged Mesh

I’m not very familiar with mesh terms.  The only thing I really know about mesh is that I have to turn up my graphics and that slows me down.  Could someone explain the difference between rigged and non-rigged mesh?

Anyhow, Kunglers sent out this little black rigged mesh dress for group members a few days ago.  There is a L$50 enrollment fee to join the Kunglers Fashion Design VIP group and members receive monthly gifts.  The silver earrings are the May group gift for VoguE members, so you will need to be quick to get them.  The Skin Within sub-o recently sent out a pack of three eyes in blue, brown, and green.  Cupcakes group members can find the Ladylove Sienna skin in the group notices.  This skin includes four makeup layers, eyebrow, and cleavage options.  There is a L$250 enrollment fee to join the Cupcakes VIP group.

With Love, Again Hunt – Part 3

Woot!  You can actually go inside the train at Inaka!  I have been spending a lot of time on the Inaka Sim – every time I visit, I find something I hadn’t seen the last time.  Anyways, I have more more  more of the With Love, Again Hunt to show you..  from inside the train. lol

The classy red dress in the photo below is from ISON and is a mesh item so you will need a mesh compatible viewer to see this design correctly.  The feature I am loving best about this whole mesh thing is…  (quoted from a friend of mine, Jag), “no garage door dress prims”!  The shoes are the WLH item from Nardcotix and were previously blogged here in case you missed it. ISON Cowl Neck Dress (10L / #31) -

Kungler’s also has a very classy dress as their hunt item.  Below I am modelling the FLW Hunt Dress.

This photo darn near got me kicked off the train, but I snapped it!  Callie Cline’s hunt prize is the red feather boa and rings you see in the photo below.  The skin I am wearing is what you will find by locating the hunt icon at Atomic. This is one very beautiful skin with ruby red lips and green eye accents.

Sunday

Apparently the hair at Waka & Yuki was taken down at 5am SLT. I misread the notice about it earlier and I am very sorry for disapointing any of you who went to try and get it.

Coe Dust has this subtley glam dress called “Blind Date” out in store for 25L right now.

Isnt it just pretty and goes so well with the hair too!

Digit Darkes has this spangley pink dress out as a group gift.. find your way to the following co-ordinates, join the group and then hit up the poster – the co-ordinates ae 181/192/32.

I adore the tulle bustle. Its just so deliciously girly!

Talking of deliciously girly, Dollhouse have this adorable dress called Withered Willamina as their new subscriber gift. Simply join up to recieve it.

*Squeeks with dolly delight*

Imani have reopened to a new location, and this is their new Dollarbie. You can find it just inside the Accessories section on the stand with the sunglasses.

The colour and the spikes just make it feel quite Kermity Gaga-esque to me. Be careful you don’t poke yourself in the eye though!

I know Renee blogged about the group gift dress from Kunglers but I couldnt resist showing you aswell as its just yummy. It costs 50L to join the group but its really worth it.

The skin I am wearing in all the pictures is still the Super Bargain Saturday Preview Skin from Heartsick that I just can’t take off. Its currently still there so if you want it, get it while you can! Its 60L and it comes with or without cleavage and with freckle options!

Kungler’s Cupcake

The brown belted skirt and green button up shirt is in the new gift given to the Kunglers Fashion Design group yesterday.  The group has a one time joining fee of L$50, but is well worth it!  The group is often showered with gifts and enjoys exclusive discounts only available to the Kunglers Fashion Design group.

Our very own Farah Palmer, the designer for chuculet, made the FabFree green Pila sandals as an exclusive gift to the Fabulously Free in SL group.  These sandals are in the Fabulously Free in SL group notices.

The Enchanted Classy Broad skin was sent to <3 Cupcakes Update Group! members late last night.  This gift comes in Apricot, Cioccolato, Cream, Sepia, and Sienna skin tones and includes a freckled version for each skin!  It is still only L$100 to join the <3 Cupcakes Update Group, join before the enrollment fee is raised!

The long brown hat and hair is the new lucky board prize at W&Y.  I waited forever for this prize, but it was well worth the wait!
